Where most see something mildly amusing that they quickly forget about, I see something I can use and exploit until all the original fun is sucked out of it. So here I am. Let's get creative with this Jersifier, shall we?

TRADE TARGETS

I have a working theory that Mike Gillis had his web team whip this thing up to test out how the potential return for Roberto Luongo might look in a Canucks jersey. After all, looking good is half the battle. Just ask Chris Higgins, who's been coasting on the strength of his abs for over a year now.

Perhaps Gillis was simply lamenting the lack of offensive firepower on the Canucks to start the season, and was remembering these players who at one time or another seemed bound for Vancouver:

Have to admit, that Sakic one makes me a little misty. Now is as good a time as any to mention that Burnaby Joe was available with the first round draft pick the Canucks traded along with Cam Neely. Yeah...

THE ULTIMATE SOLUTION

Maybe Gillis has been misleading us this whole time. Maybe there really is no trade market for Roberto Luongo. If that's the case, could the Jersifier be Gillis' first phase of a "new human performance plan" including extensive biological experiments to create the perfect goaltender? A Super Shredder of the crease, if you will? Let's see:

That's…horrifying. Not to mention an unmitigated jersey foul.

THE LAST RESORT

The injuries, the lack of a trade market, the 0-1-1 record to start the season…maybe the Canucks really are doomed this year. Realizing this, Gillis has these tucked away for safe keeping:

Well, Daniel Sedin won't be happy, but Seth Jones has worn #4 in the past, and I have a feeling it might become vacant this summer.
